Verse 1:
 

C 
 When it comes to hitchin' the boat up 
C7M                  C 
Backin' down the ramp in my old truck 
F                                            F7M  
To find a bunch of logs, to catch a bunch of hogs 
                   F                       C 
Yeah, I wrote the book, yeah, I wrote the book 

C 
If you wanna learn to throw a curve right 

Catch a clean up lookin' on a third strike 
 F                  F7M  
Talk a little smack while he's walkin' back 
                   F

             C 
But there's one that lays by the lamp on the nightstand 
 C 
One that says don't cuss and don't fight 
F                          F7M  
Or let the bottle turn you into a different man 
                    F                   C 
But damn if I don't do it every Friday night 

 C 
Those get you into Heaven letters in red 
 C                                                  F 
Ain't gettin' read enough to keep me on a straight line 

I'm a Jack of all trades, but man I gotta say 
                          C    C 
That's one book I didn't write 

Verse 2:

C 
I met a good girl, she had her life straight 

She said she loved that I was good at everything 
 F 
One day she left me in a cloud of dust 

'Cause I never was too good at pickin' up
